Match Report

TTA report

Both teams had a few chances but generally all the forwards were snuffed out of the game by solid defences. Niven had several good saves to keep the scoreline blank. As the game wore on it became clear there was little to enthuse over and it became a drab goalless draw, but with a welcome point.
